3 years contract????? Jeez, that's bleeding slavery. I would feel like I had just sold my soul in signing such a contract. Here in Scandinavia contracts for subsidized phones and netbooks are MAXIMUM 6 months. I bought my Samsung Omnia for 200 euros in October and it's already unlocked. and an HTC touch HD, from another carrier in November for the same price and it will be unlocked next month, during these 6 months I had to pay about 50 euros per month (per phone) for unlimited data (HSDPA/3G)and MMS/SMS and practically unlimited voice (200minutes a month), the second contract was similarly priced but offered some more free voice minutes and some less MMS/SMS. That Nokia (or any Nseries model) can be had for under 200 euros with 6 month contract, or even for free with 6 month contract if you pay for your browsing, downloading calls, etc. It seems that for once someone gets screwed more than scandinavians. Hard to belive.
